None of the 18 Iowa counties with the highest rates of COVID-19-related deaths per capita has a total population of more than 17,000 people, according to state public health data and U.S. census figures.
Harrison County, in western Iowa, has the highest COVID-19 death rate among the state's 99 counties. In a county of just over 14,000 people, 70 have died of COVID-19-related causes, state public health data show.
For comparison's sake, that equates to nearly 500 deaths per 100,000 people, which is more than triple the national average.
Five more rural Iowa counties - Ida, Emmet, O'Brien, Ringgold and Adair - also have COVID-19 death rates higher than 400 deaths per 100,000 people.
The U.S. average is 155.
Measured in deaths per capita, the state's largest population centers do not show up until the second half of the county ranking. [emphasis added]
